I THINK I'VE FINALLY BEEN PUSHED OVER THE EDGE (aka.... i'm out)
by JV ini think that i've finally been pushed off the edge, just imaging me hanging on to the wtbs by one hand, as if i'm hanging off a cliff.
a couple of months ago i was hanging on by two hands, mabey even pulling myself back on the band wagon so to say.
but after finding out about the lies and what goes down in the congregation, with the "young ones" all the hipocracy, i've been reduced to hanging on by a finger, like something out of a wiley e coyote movie, i don't feel like finishing the story tonight, but just some events happened tonight that just pushed me off the edge, i'm closer tonight than i've ever been to saying " screw all of you i'm finished" anyways i'll continue some other time

This really get's my goat
by JV inwould you treat somebody better if they drove a mercedes as opposed to a person who drives a ford pinto, you don't have to be mr. spock to figure out that's not logical, so why would you treat somebody differently if they get in 20 hours per month as opposed to 2 hours a month, this goes on all the time in dub land, this is the major thing that " stumbles" me, (my favorite dub word, that'll i'll vent about in a future post).
the dubs do this all the time and it really pisses me off, they claim that their not a judgemental group but we all know better.
how can you judge somebodys worth on a slip of paper marking how many hours they go knocking on doors, that's just wrong.

A question for former pioneers.
by JV ineverytime you go to an assembly or to a convention or the co pays a visit, there's always a call for people to pioneer.
they always drag out a couple of pioneers on to the stage and "interview" them.
the one question they always ask is if the pioneers have any regrets over pioneering.

Another JV update
by JV inwell we had the co's visit tonight.
i can feel myself fading slowly away, i even called up some of my "worldly friends" and i even called up a girl who i had a huge crush on in high school with whom i've lost touch over the years.
why is everybody so chipper when the co visits?

i'm curious, how do they know things that i've told people in confidence?
